Lakers plan to exercise option on Robert Sacre

The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to pick up center Robert Sacre’s veteran-minimum team option, according to league sources.

Sacre has lost 15 pounds since the end of the Lakers’ season. He is under a guaranteed option at $981,348 for next season, and there’s a chance the Lakers could look into reworking a longer-term deal with the 26-year-old.
